Event Overview
The Birds of a Feather Trail Trot is an annual trail running event held on Thanksgiving Day at Briar Chapel in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. This fourth edition of the race provides several course options ranging from smooth paths to single-track trails. Participants can choose between different distances and terrain types depending on their preference for technical footing.
Course Details
The event features three distinct distances on varying surfaces:
- 2 Miles: A timed race or untimed fun run on paved paths, grass, and smooth trails.
- 5K: A timed race on moderately technical single-track trails featuring roots, rocks, and hills.
- 10K: A timed race on moderately technical single-track trails featuring roots, rocks, and hills.
The 2 Mile course is designed for those seeking non-technical surfaces, while the 5K and 10K routes utilize more rugged terrain with rolling hills.
Participant Experience
The event includes a race for children aged 11 and under. Following the runs, an awards ceremony is held which includes contests and giveaways. Refreshments, including pie, are provided for participants at the conclusion of their respective events. This race is part of a series that offers a combined registration option with another trail run held later in the same weekend. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
